Abstract
It is more than twenty years since Lang advanced the hypothesis that some male homosexuals are sex intergrades with male morphological sex characteristics but a female chromosomal pattern (Lang, 1940). Is there now sufficient evidence to prove or disprove the theory? The purpose of this paper is to review the evidence to date, and to present the results of an investigation of the somatic chromosomes in a small series of male homosexuals.Keywords
